Journal Articles or Books?

Nursing instructors very often specify that you use nursing articles in your papers and reports. Yet sometimes all you can find is advanced material that you are not yet ready for. Books, particularly reference books, can help you with this gap. The Library has many books that give definitions, examples, explanations, signs, pathophysiology, and so on. Some of our NetLibrary online books also deal with nursing topics. Save yourself some time and effort by reading up on a topic from a good reference source and you will understand your article better. Since you won't be citing the book, it can be older than 3 years and still give you valuable background. This is a perfect example of working smarter, not harder.
